re: A few reasons why I cant take women's sports serious

quote:

---

The three best players in men's tennis are post 30. One of them is 37.

The players who end up being the best are the the ones that buck the trends and play at a high level to an advanced age. These are anomalies.

The average male pro tennis player peaks in their mid 20s and the women usually peak in their early 20s.

Saying you don’t take them seriously because men beat them is like saying you can’t take college football seriously because nfl teams would stomp them.

Women’s sports are boring to watch and have terrible attendance and viewership for the most part. No reason for you to get all insecure about them.

My friend’s gf is something like top ten strongest female crossfitter in all of the Midwest. I may be top 10 strongest man in the gym at a given time . If it’s not too crowded. I’m good, not great. I certainly don’t do CrossFit.

My friend and I got hammered one night and started arm wrestling in front of her, and I won. At the time I didn’t know how good she was at CrossFit. Their relationship was new. She challenged me afterward, and I laughed, which pissed her off. Now, I have no doubt that she could beat me in exercises that require excellent form and significant cardiovascular fitness. After all, it does require a lot of practice and training. I will admit that.

But I sure had no difficulty beating her arse at arm wrestling She’s a raging feminist, too. So it made me smile. Then, I went back to drinking, and she went back to training to take on the patriarchy.

Doesn't affect me, I look at it as separate sports. Not related.

Nah. There are plenty of shitty teams around the country to bring down the average.

If you only watch the very top level of competition then I hope you don't watch college sports at all, no college team can compete in the pros either.

I do only watch the very top level of competition because those athletes competing are men.

As they should be.

Will women admit that a man who transitions to a female is generally a better athlete? What about places like UFC? If a trans women beats the living shite out of a real women in the same weight class, are you willing to show that on TV? Imagine a male who can't make it in the NBA "transitions" and wants to play in the WNBA, are they willing to allow some 6'6" male to come and start dunking all over the women's game?

I don't know. You would hope the madness will end at some point, but it'll be interesting to see where it goes. It'll be more and more fracturing of the various progressive groups until it gets to an end (if ever). They even have a term for feminist who don't want to include trans folks (TERF = Trans Excluding(?) Radical Feminist).

"I was coming post that the Fatal Flaw in the OPs dumb arse post is that he just shite on College sports that have a professional level.
Stop viewing women's sports as a gender and instead as a different level. Competition and parity are what make sports entertaining.

Bama would lose to the Cleveland Browns by 40. Does Bama suck? "

This is a really bad analogy. A lot of the players on Alabama's team can and will play in the NFL. The talent is isn't the problem, it's arbitrary rules, need for development and experience. There are exactly zero WNBA players that could hack it on an NBA team and there are exactly zero women in the world that could playing the NFL, MLB, or any men's sport for that matter. When you're watching NCAA football you're seeing a lot of the guys that will eventually play in the pros. It's nothing at all like watching a bunch of subpar athletes.

We all worship college football and the worst NFL team would beat the ever living frick out of them.

when I was a kid the first NFL preseason game would be the reigning champ against a team of college all-stars, all stars won it a few times, even beat Lombardi's Green Bay Packers




ETA: that's true but sort of a joke, of course the shittiest NFL would beat the best college team
